Manufacturer Narrative
|
Udi - not yet required for this product code/lot number combination, however the di portion was provided.The actual device was returned to the manufacturing facility for evaluation.Visual inspection revealed no defects.The actual sample, after having been rinsed and dried was tested for its gas transfer performance.Bovine blood was circulated in the oxygenator module.No anomalies were revealed in the gas transfer performance of the actual sample with the obtained values meeting manufacturing specification.A review of the device history record and the product release decision control sheet of the involved product/lot # combination was conducted with no relevant findings.A search of the complaint file did not find any other report with the involved product code/lot# combination.There is no evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction and the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined.The device labeling does address the potential for such an occurrence in the instruction for use (ifu) with the statement such as the following: "start gas supply with v/q=1, and fio2=100%, then make adjustments based on blood gas measurements.Measure blood gases and make necessary adjustments as follows.Control pao2 by changing concentration of oxygen in ventilating gas using gas blender.To decrease pao2, decrease fio2.To increase pao2, increase fio2.Control paco2 by changing the total gas flow.To decrease paco2, increase total gas flow.To increase paco2, decrease total gas flow".(b)(4).All available information has been placed on file in quality assurance for appropriate tracking, trending and follow-up.
